• 0:02
  Happy Wednesday morning to everybody.
• 0:06
  I'm in Pensacola, FL. I will say this and respond
• 0:12
  right here. The Panhandle of Florida has the
• 0:16
  best white sand. See this, White sand this.
• 0:19
  See the point of my finger? Follow the finger.
• 0:23
  This sand is really nice. Much nicer than the East Coast.
• 0:30
  Daytona Daytona's got good sand, but it's kind of that brown
• 0:34
  color. I think this is, I find this
• 0:35
  softer, whiter. What do you say?
• 0:41
  All right, The Herminator is going to do a coffee with Kenny
• 0:45
  because I have something on my mind and it it's probably
• 0:49
  something you would never dream of.
• 0:52
  So Cory Lajoie, good racer, good guy.
• 0:57
  I know his dad, Randy Lajoie. Randy Lajoie and myself, we race
• 1:03
  together. Well, his boys become a
• 1:04
  character, kind of like a Kenny Wallace.
• 1:07
  In other words, Corey's on stacking pennies.
• 1:10
  He's got a show with NASCAR. Good looking kid, got a lot of
• 1:14
  hair, got a lot of faith, you know, good looking guy.
• 1:18
  So anyway, I like Corey. What do you ran?
• 1:21
  I think he ran 4th in the Daytona 500.
• 1:24
  Corey did, but anyway. Corey had Shane van Gisbergen.
• 1:30
  This, this is the V8 driver that came over from Australia.
• 1:36
  OK, let me back up for that. As they say in the radio
• 1:39
  business, let me paint the picture for you.
• 1:43
  So Corey Lajoie is a good race car driver, but kind of like
• 1:48
  Kenny Wallace. He got a show called Stacking
• 1:51
  Pennies and he has Shane Van Gisbergen, the V8 driver.
• 1:57
  The great driver of man's of age is not like he's a child, but
• 2:04
  Team Track House brought him over from Australia.
• 2:08
  Now the reason I had to tell you all this, Now you might know all
• 2:10
  this, but you got to tell the back story.
• 2:14
  So as Corey is interviewing Shane van Gisbergen, this was
• 2:20
  comical and so funny. Listen to this, Chang says.
• 2:27
  The movie Talladega Nights was really accurate.
• 2:31
  It might have exaggerated a little bit, he says.
• 2:33
  I come over here and all these NASCAR drivers got these big
• 2:37
  mansions. They just, they overdo it.
• 2:39
  They everything's. Look at me, I'm big.
• 2:43
  Look, look at my plane. Look at my yacht.
• 2:46
  Look at my. It was so damn funny.
• 2:53
  It just hit everybody in the industry, right?
• 2:56
  So, you know, Teladega Nights was like an exaggeration, You
• 2:59
  know, the wealthy driver with the big, you know, you know,
• 3:04
  married with one kid, married with two kids, but living in a
• 3:08
  22,000 square foot home Now these are real numbers.
• 3:13
  This is not exaggeration, OK? The movie Teladega Nights might
• 3:17
  have exaggerated but these number these numbers are not
• 3:20
  exaggeration. These some of these drivers are
• 3:24
  living in like 1620 thousand square foot homes.
• 3:27
  OK now mind you, the home you're in right now, yes you're either
• 3:32
  in a single wide mobile home or a double wide mobile home like I
• 3:37
  grew up in. So my first house was like a
• 3:40
  single bedroom apartment off Hwy. 21 in Saint Louis or a
• 3:47
  single bedroom apartment, double bedroom and I grew up in a
• 3:53
  single, you know, trailer. Then I went on to a double wide.
• 3:57
  A lot of people know me from my double wide mobile home on
• 4:00
  Harris Rd. right there in Concord.
• 4:04
  And then I then I then I built my dream home and I lived in a
• 4:08
  6000 square foot home and to be honest we really just used the
• 4:13
  bottom of it. It it, it kind of accidentally
• 4:16
  had a top and it had a nice two car garage.
• 4:21
  Herman, where the hell you going with this?
• 4:25
  So, so the story is this, why do we build homes too big?
• 4:32
  Why, you know, is there a rule? Is there a rule?
• 4:39
  Now, most of what I'm doing right now is comedy, So have fun
• 4:43
  with me. Respond here.
• 4:47
  You're making 35,065 thousand a year and you're pissed.
• 4:52
  You're so mad because you look at these cup drivers.
• 4:55
  Why the hell do they need a house that big?
• 4:59
  I can answer that because they can.
• 5:04
  Let me tell you something that I know for a fact because I know
• 5:07
  these things. When you're making $6 million
• 5:13
  base salary and we've already concluded somebody like a lot of
• 5:17
  the a lot of the drivers that got in before the salaries
• 5:20
  dipped. So.
• 5:22
  So remember everybody was making six $9 million base and then all
• 5:27
  of a sudden coronavirus come in, everything died and we heard all
• 5:31
  the rumors, all these young drivers, you know, the Cup
• 5:35
  drivers, they're making $250,000 base, that's all they're making
• 5:40
  cheat and death. And the baseball player makes 22
• 5:43
  million a year. I can look at me.
• 5:46
  I can hit a ball and I make $22 million a year.
• 5:51
  I'd be more pissed about that. Then I would be mad that a
• 5:55
  driver cheating death only makes 6 to 9 million a year.
• 6:00
  So respond right here. But I don't want to hear it, OK?
• 6:05
  I don't want to hear it. It it's guy hits the ball now,
• 6:09
  he's good at it. I get it.
• 6:11
  But so anyway, the subject at hand is this.
• 6:19
  You, you probably live in a, what, a 1300 to 1800 square foot
• 6:23
  home. OK, my home right now that I
• 6:26
  live in is 2600 square foot. All right, as Schrader would
• 6:31
  say, but you got a basement arm, so that's over 5000.
• 6:34
  Well, OK, I'll go with you. I've had some very ultra wealthy
• 6:41
  friends say they've had the mansions and they drive the
• 6:46
  people nuts because you have a mansion, you're married, you got
• 6:51
  the one or the two kids to see the beautiful people.
• 6:54
  Remember what was that singer? The beautiful people, the
• 7:01
  beautiful people, the beautiful people.
• 7:04
  What was that? Marilyn Manson.
• 7:07
  Marilyn Manson. The beautiful people tend to
• 7:10
  have one or two children because they want the perfect family and
• 7:13
  they want the big house. But the problem is the comedy
• 7:18
  comes in. Is that hell, I don't use half
• 7:21
  the rooms in my house. There's Mike right there.
• 7:25
  So you just got to listen. Hey.
• 7:30
  Good morning everybody. I.
• 7:32
  Don't know what we're talking about.
• 7:33
  Oh yeah, we're we're we're talking about stacking pennies.
• 7:35
  People that have big homes. Oh, don't.
• 7:38
  Don't get a big home. It's too much work.
• 7:39
  I got one of them. So anyway, have a ultra wealthy
• 7:43
  NASCAR driver, he said. Herman, he said, I rode up to
• 7:48
  that house and I'm tired of those lights going out.
• 7:50
  Got a light out here and a light out here.
• 7:53
  And you know who got Martin's story?
• 7:55
  Hold on, hold on, hold on, say it again.
• 7:57
  I said that's a Martin's story. So you know all the drivers they
• 8:03
  share. They said, man, you know, so the
• 8:07
  drivers, and you know what, the drivers I'm talking about, I
• 8:09
  don't want to call them out. The big homes.
• 8:13
  I'm going to answer this right now for y'all the big homes are
• 8:16
  basically a trophy to themselves.
• 8:19
  In other words, look, I'm a NASCAR champion.
• 8:22
  I make the 10 to $15 million a year.
• 8:25
  What am I going to do? I'm going to buy the big home
• 8:28
  because that is my trophy to myself.
• 8:32
  I only got one or two kids and the the joke is I bought this
• 8:36
  damn home and all. All we use is the kitchen, the
• 8:40
  living room and the bedroom. So anyway, I want to thank Corey
• 8:47
  Lajoie stacking pennies. Shane van Gisbergen.
• 8:51
  It is a comedy because Shane come from Australia and he goes,
• 8:57
  Corey goes, What was the biggest surprise when you got over here
• 9:00
  Shane goes. The biggest surprise was I
• 9:03
  realized how true Heladega Knights was.
• 9:06
  I thought it was an exaggeration.
• 9:09
  These cup drivers do think they're somebody.
• 9:12
  What do you do? You built the 20,000 square foot
• 9:15
  home. 10 years later you go, I'm going to sell the home.
• 9:20
  So it's just a comedy. Everybody should do what they
• 9:25
  want with their own money. But the moral of the story is
• 9:30
  this. Right now, I'm going to wrap it
• 9:31
  up. Shane Van Gisbergen.
• 9:34

  1500 square foot. Tell me if I'm wrong.
